Those with a fear of heights should look away now. This clip from ‘I Believe I
Can Fly (Flight of the Frenchies)’ is likely to quicken the heart-rate of
even hardened adrenaline-junkies.

‘I Believe I Can Fly (Flight of the Frenchies)’ is one of the most eagerly anticipated films at this year’s Thrillseekers Adventure Film Festival, and likely to quicken the heart-rate of even hardened adrenaline-junkies.

It shows one of two of the film’s stars, Julien and Tancrède, on a slackline high over the fjords of Norway with no visible means of support.

The pair, who were filmed by their friend Sebastian Montaz-Rosset, were developing a new extreme adventure sport known as BASE-lining (you can see a gallery here), a heady combination of climbing, slackline, tightrope walking, with base-jumping included.

The film is not just about the creation of a new sport, but also “explores the beauty of sharing the adventure.”

Needless to say, however, don’t try this at home…

‘I believe I can fly (Flight of the Frenchies’ will be showing at the Thrillseekers Adventure Film Festival, which starts on Monday October 8, 2012. For more information and to check the schedule, see the festival website.
